ANOTHER DAY ON EARTH is a drizzle of politely tedious middle-class fubsy that strays so far over the border between gentle and twee that if I actually knew the man I would have scratched his name out of my address book after three tracks. I for one was unable to face another day on earth with it  it lasted exactly twenty seconds between my CD player and the bin. Eno has been coasting on a cushion of goodwill based on his 'early funny ones' and his 'mid-period floaty ones' for far too long. Just exactly what is meant to be so super-cred' about producing U2? And James?! It's not as if he transformed them into something far-out and magical. Hiring Eno as producer seems more of a publicity coup than a genuine step into the avant-garde. Nigel Godrich's production work for Radiohead pisses all over Eno's efforts. He sneered at the Roxy reunion before it happened and then recanted. Now he's playing prima donna about making the album. Personally, I would rejoice if they gave the fifth slot to Eddie Jobson and left this over-the-hill 'avant-gardist' well alone. His albums over the last few years are the aural equivalent of scatter-cushions: kind of 'nice' but who really needs 'em?

I know everyone else in the world does. And no, I didn't buy it only because of the cover. I heard Pleasure From The Bass very loud in HMV and thought I liked it. I was kidding myself.

I don't really care if I have a menu or not. So maybe it's not an EBAY thing just a conversion from PAL to NTSC.
